I studied European history with an elective in American Red Indian History (before the term was changed). The tribal cultures were interesting but how they were treated horrified me, the Sand Creek Massacre in particular (the last part of the movie Soldier Blue was pretty accurate). Every promise they received from the government was broken. I studied modern European history. Not sure how many have read about the Battle of Bamber Bridge (it is in Wikipedia) but it opened my eyes to racialism during WWII. I also did an elective on early 20th century European art and learned to appreciate abstract art for the first time. I love the work of Braque and others of the same period still. Being in Thailand I read about Thai history going back to the Dvaravati Period and was asked to translate articles from Thai to English now and then. Eventually wrote two Royal biographies for the government.

Good move. Maybe worth another visit. Certain to encourage more tourism an business.

A 250 foot arch will look great with gilt decoration, maybe some swans and unicorns to make it look classical. And an eternal flame with the tomb of the unknown ICE warrior to balance the glitter with a somber touch. One can imagine those mile long columns of goose stepping Proud Boy divisions raising glory to the fatherland.

The Gripen of becoming a very popular plane. Does its performance warrant this, or just its price? (I don't know the answer)

Killing children who had just been born. Inhuman.

Horrified to know a person can be dismembered for a debt that can now never be repaid.

Unfortunately, should Trump have to step down for any reason, Vance becomes President without an election. Democracy, eh?

You come to Thailand, you respect the rules. It's their country.

The U.S. Constitution covers all "persons" within the United States, not just citizens, ensuring rights for lawful residents, undocumented immigrants, and visitors. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-2/ALDE_00001262/

Threatening a country with invasion is bound to improve the position of the party that stands up to its evil intentions

Great news. If only Thailand could improve the quality of education too.
